Tavi Pride 2025 – Saturday 5th July
Parade | Festival | Afterparty
Afterparty at The Stannary Brewery, Pixon Lane
Tavistock Pride is an annual parade and day festival which brings together the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies in celebration, creating a voice for those in Tavistock, West Devon and the surrounding areas.
Welcome to your
Tavi Pride Festival
After a hugely successful first ever Tavi Pride in 2022, the event is set to happen annually. We hope this event will enable people to affirm their equal rights and dignity; increase their visibility as a social group; built community and celebrate sexual and gender diversity. As well as celebrating our wonderfully diverse community, this event will be a positive stance against discrimination and violence towards the lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT+) community
Tavi Pride is run by a small team of local volunteers and we need your support to make it the best possible celebration.
The event
Tavi Pride will take place on Saturday 5th July 2025 from Midday. The event will start with a parade through the town to the meadows where there will be a festival-style event all day until early evening. Planning for Tavi Pride 2025 will start properly in January with details to follow early 2025. Applications for traders and performers will be open in January.

Get Involved
In order to make this the best possible event we can, we need the support of local businesses and organisations. You can support us in a number of ways:
- Join our parade Come and be part of the celebration and join our on-foot parade. We are looking for a diverse range of organisations to bring something loud/colourful/fun/festive to be in the parade. There won’t be any floats, so we are looking for businesses and organisations to get creative with banners, music, sculptures, masks, dance – or simply join the parade with your group and march in solidarity with your LGBTQ+ community.
- Display a rainbow flag If you or your business would like a rainbow flag to display in a window or prominent area in the town, please let us know.
- Hold a pride fundraiser
- Create a special ‘pride product’ For example, if you are a café, you could do a special rainbow cake to mark and acknowledge the event. Anything goes! Come up with your own brilliant idea for the week running up to the event, to show the town you support pride.
- Support us with a service We have been completely overwhelmed by the positivity and generosity from local businesses so far with help coming in for website design, logo design, steward volunteers and more. Is there something you could donate that would help us? We will need everything from security to flyer/poster printing to music amplification.
- Support us financially: As we are a brand new, not-for-profit, community organisation, we are relying on funding applications, fundraising events and local support to make this hugely important event happen.
